cause than Gen. Pat Oleburne. He
was by nature colder, and adapted
himself with admirable tact and
skill to the duties that dsvolved
upon him, whether Is private or
general. His was heroic nature. He
was indifferent 10 danger, and though
prudent in his calculations and in the
deposition Of his troops, always went
into action like a lion hearted, some
times an impetuous, headlong soldier.

JAKE SH ARP.

Mr.. Jake Sharp who is on tlial in
New York city court on a charge oil
being tho principal in the distribution
of "boodle" to certain Aldermen,
some OF whom are in exile and others
in the penitentiary at Sing Sing, has
succeeded in introducing 20 many ele-
ments OF confusion that the Judge
G Ids himself with hundred or more
recusant citizens on bis hands to be
tried and punished for failing to re-
port for jury duty. Besides these,
questions Of bribery OF witnesses have
been raised that will occasion delays
and 80 becloud the proceedings as to
put the court on trial before the bar
of public opinion. How long this
state cd things is to last depends, OF
course, upon the judge and the
prosecuting attorney, both OF
them hitherto characterized by
zeal in the public service.
1t will not be flr long though. Prose-
cutting Attorney MARITIME has given
very positive assurance that he does
not intend to lot this Prince Of Bood-
lers prevail against the law. He was
the temper who conceived and car
ried out the infamy that has back
ened the characters Of so many men.
For thirty.fve yesrH, according to his
own statement, he kept the Broadway
surface railroad In view. la that time
he made several attempts to secure
the right Of way, but wealthy property
owners, like A. 7. Stewart and VIM,
b. Aston, interviewed their influence tc
prevent his success. At last, nftel
many years of defeat, he found Boarc
of Aldermen hungry for "boodle," snd
he ''boodled" his scheme through and
"boodled" several Aldermen into Sing
Sing, where there Is g cell gaping fol
him. He bribed thess uDfortuna!ei
for their votes, and paid out q sum II
that way that would be a princely for
tune. Wreck and ruin instead OF sue
cess and profit have come to all wit
have touch ed the franchise of the road
or been engsSed in making it, an
now the "bosS" himself is OIL

oyertake him at last. He will not b
